How do you know an ID is genuine, and that the person presenting it is its rightful holder? In this episode of ID Talk, hosts Tony Bitzionis and Alex Perala welcome Geoff Slagle, Executive Vice President of Digital Identity at FaceTec, to examine the challenges of detecting fake IDs and verifying the people using them. Drawing on nearly three decades in identity security and driver’s license standards, Slagle discusses increasingly accessible forgery tools, the limitations of visual ID checks, and the risks of collecting and storing large volumes of identity-document images.
The conversation also explores FaceTec’s UR Codes, cryptographically signed biometric barcodes designed to connect identity credentials to their holders. Slagle explains how compact biometric data and digital signatures can help establish both who issued a credential and whether the person presenting it is entitled to use it. Along the way, the discussion covers the continuing role of physical IDs, the data-minimization promise of mobile driver’s licenses, and Slagle’s case for changing how organizations verify identity.
